That looks a lot like what we called a "Flyweight Lockup Clutch" when I was drag racing many years ago. As the RPM went up the weights would add more and more force to the pressure plate and disk. These worked very well and virtually eliminated heat related clutch failures.
There was a downside to the system. When you were setting on the line and brought the engine up to launch RPM you could feel the weights pressing against the clutch thru the linkage and clutch peddle. This added load on the linkage on occasion would cause a failure and the effect was the same as sliding your foot off the side of the clutch and resulted in a violent launch. The simple solution was to strengthen the clutch linkage to handle the extra load. I can see where a similar problem could develop with this system and it may be advisable to consider strengthening the quads cables and related linkage.</end quote></div>
It's not a problem on this application as there is no force on the cable when the clutch is engaged and when you have the clutch pulled in it doesn't know the difference. The only time you can run into problems is if you add too much weight, then it will become hard to shift as the clutch will not release. These have been in use since they first started hot rodding the Banshee's and have been perfected [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
